ABSTRACT:
A part feeding and assembling system comprises a bowl feeder composed of storage container for storing parts to be assembled and a transporting track for transporting the parts in a row, the transporting path having an end opened in the interior of the container, a visual recognition apparatus for imaging the parts being transported, determining whether the part as imaged is proper for assembling currently carried out, and recognizing position and direction of the proper part, and a robot for picking up the proper part by generating pick-up position data of the robot on the basis of the data representative of the position and direction of the proper part and assembling it to a part to be assembled at other station. The robot picks up only the proper part from those being transported. The bowl feeder introduces the improper parts to the container through the opening so that they are again placed on the transporting path for being recirculated.
